Wrong Postcode on parcels

Post by ellaharvey »

I'm expecting two signed for parcels that were sent off today, but I just realised that the second half of my postcode on them is wrong. Instead of 8LZ it has 7LZ. The rest of my address is correct, and the first half of my postcode is correct too.
Will they still arrive?

Unless the addresses are miles apart and get delivered from different offices although it may delay it, it won't stop you getting it in 99% of cases.

There is a postcode in my area ending in 7LZ that is in my neighbourhood but it doesn't have the same first part of the postcode as me or street name. Does this help?

If it's in the same community the postie sorting the parcels will go on the address not on the postcode so it won't matter.

If it was in a different community then the delay is caused because the Mail centre Machines go by the post code not the address.
